One of the happiest moments of most Fridays is when I can switch off the alarm function of my phone, allowing me to sleep in on Saturday morning as long as I naturally can. This is one of those Fridays, and I just had one of those moments.

Early evening of another quiet day. Old guy complaining: the arthritis, especially in my right hand, has abated, but a corn on the bottom of my right foot is pretty painful now when I walk. May need to use one of my walking sticks when out. That could make Sunday rather awkward.

Late afternoon sliding into evening as I sit here at the keyboard. Today has been rather boring, but not disappointing in any serious way. The wife's injuries from this weekend continue to heal, and that's a very good thing. Her son and granddaughter in the Philippines are sick now, and that's a worry. She was able to send them money to allow them to get medical treatment and medicine, but she'll not have peace of mind until she gets word that they're getting better. And so it goes.

Up early today. Arthritis, particularly in my right hand, has been a growing concern over the past few weeks. Today it will limit the time I can spend doing certain chores such as updating the paper planner and note card system I've been using to document and organize business and personal activities for many years.
I've already set up a new planner system for 2023 that will have me doing less writing. But closing out 2022, especially during December, may be spotty and rough.

That window of time during which I have both the energy and mental acuity to get serious work done never did open very wide today nor did it stay open very long. Ah well, at least I didn't break anything. Relaxing now to news shows from various sources, and looking forward to catching the radio call later of tonight's Steelers vs Colts game.

Staying home from Mass today, drinking coffee and taking care of my wife who did entirely too much work yesterday and consequently can barely even walk today. That's what happens when an old woman forgets her age and thinks she's a teenager.

For those keeping score, I got 7.5 hours of sleep last night. MUCH more than I've been getting lately. Of course, it took me 9 hours to do it, due to a 1.5 hour insomnia break from 02:00 until 03:30. Still, all my health metrics were better this morning than they've been for awhile. And yes, I attribute that to last night's good sleep.

So off and on throughout the day I've been exploring a multi-featured web service company I've found. I expect to have a lot of fun with it after I've learned how to use the different parts of it.

Enjoying a quiet, relaxing Thanksgiving Day. Had a nice morning video chat with daughter and family back in Indiana, then took Sylvia out to our midday turkey dinner at Golden Corral. Now watching the afternoon's 2nd NFL game. Go Cowboys!

So I'm ending this day on a sad note. I learned a few hours ago that a friend of mine has died. Other friends had been unable to reach him by phone for a few days. Finally his daughter went to his home, he lived alone, and found him dead. He and I worked together just last week. He will be greatly missed.
